Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess whether the use of alogliptin 25mg/day in patients with stage 2 type 1 diabetes mellitus reduces the rate of progression to stage 3 at the end of 24 months of follow-up when compared to a control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In addition to the key outcome, it is expected to compare the following intermediate outcomes between the two groups: A1c, fasting blood glucose and every 30 minutes during 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test; fasting and C-peptide levels at 120 minutes. We will monitor fasting blood glucose, A1c and fasting C-peptide levels every 3 months. Glucose, C-peptide and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels will be monitored every 6 months. For patients progressing to stage 3, we will assess the dose of exogenous insulin requirement, IDAA1c, and incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis. | — |
